[quote=Anonymous]NP: At the beach last week, also in an expensive rental with my parents. Our contribution was the groceries (about $400 to their $3500, so more than fair). I bought the Harris Teeter brand take-and-toss containers because they were so much cheaper than Glad or Ziploc, and I planned to leave them there. Tops didn't fit right, super hard to separate from each other ...

Our Bounce paper towels were also much better than the roll of generic the house came with. Our Cottonelle toilet paper much softer.

There are lots of generic items that are just fine, but when I'm on vacation, that "marginal" difference is something I care about -- I want it to be easy, fun and comfortable. And I'm not hauling all of that stuff with us or going to 4 different stores to get the generics we already know are good.

I'm a recycling, composting, budgeting person in my real life. On our annual 1-week beach vacation with the rest of the family, I take a lot of short cuts including take out, restaurants, disposables, and brand names.[/quote]
